I am looking to purchase a BMW 525iT (1993). I know little about the cars but am trying to get a quick education before I purchase one. I've done a lot of reading online, but I was wondering if anyone on the list had any experience with the E34 BMW's. I haven't seen anything that would scare me away just yet, but I wanted to know if there was anything specific I should look into or be afraid of failure (like a $4000 transmission replacement). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I've heard that the inline 6 motor is very reliable. The car drove very nicely even with 120K. Thanks, -Phil 89 Westy |
